Note on a Zero-Sum Problem
Let G be an additively written, finite abelian group, and exp(G ) its exponent. Let S=(a1 , ..., ak) be a sequence of elements in G; we say that S is a zero-sum sequence if i=1 ai=0. Let s(G ) be the samllest integer t such that every sequence of t elements in G contains a zero-sum subsequence of length exp(G ). This constant has been studied by serveral authors during last 20 years [1 9, 11]. ...
متن کاملA note on two-person zero-sum communicating stochastic games
For undiscounted two-person zero-sum communicating stochastic games with finite state and action spaces, a solution procedure is proposed that exploits the communication property, i.e., working with irreducible games over restricted strategy spaces. The proposed procedure gives the value of the communicating game with an arbitrarily small error when the value is independent of the initial state.
متن کاملA Note on Zero-Sum 5-Flows in Regular Graphs
Let G be a graph. A zero-sum flow of G is an assignment of non-zero real numbers to the edges such that the sum of the values of all edges incident with each vertex is zero. Let k be a natural number. A zero-sum k-flow is a flow with values from the set {±1, . . . ,±(k − 1)}. It has been conjectured that every r-regular graph, r ≥ 3, admits a zero-sum 5-flow. In this paper we give an affirmativ...
متن کاملA note on the generalized min-sum set cover problem
In this paper, we consider the generalized min-sum set cover problem, introduced by Azar, Gamzu, and Yin [1]. Bansal, Gupta, and Krishnaswamy [2] give a 485approximation algorithm for the problem. We are able to alter their algorithm and analysis to obtain a 28-approximation algorithm, improving the performance guarantee by an order of magnitude. We use concepts from α-point scheduling to obtai...
متن کاملOn Zero-Sum and Almost Zero-Sum Subgraphs Over ℤ
For a graph H with at most n vertices and a weighing of the edges of Kn with integers, we seek a copy of H in Kn whose weight is minimal, possibly even zero. Of a particular interest are the cases where H is a spanning subgraph (or an almost spanning subgraph) and the case where H is a fixed graph. In particular, we show that relatively balanced weighings of Kn with {−r, . . . , r} guarantee al...
